Britain’s Creeping Totalitarianism

[00:00:02]Britain and the West are falling into tyrannical totalitarian socialism all apart from the United States and Eastern Europe. This is the gradual rise of creeping authoritarian socialism right through our institutions and it is the age-old battle between freedom and state control. Hi, my name is Tom and this is my channel Integral Views. In this video, we'll have a look at how this creeping totalitarianism is unfolding within Britain. And the speed of change, the speed with which it is manifesting is quite remarkable. But it has been a gradual shift, a gradual creeping um taking over of our institutions over many, many years, in fact decades. But now it's crunch time and the powers that be know it because they're losing control of the narrative. And this of course ties very closely into Marxism and Marxist theory that says that you need to claim control or the state needs to claim control of the means of production, communication and education and it ties into Leninism. Let's have a quick definition of totalitarianism.

[00:01:06]Totalitarianism is a political system in which the state seeks to control nearly every aspect of public and private life, leaving no room for individual freedom or political pluralism. And this battle comes down to one single question. The question is, do you want to live in the kind of country where you are free to think and speak your mind along with all of the downsides of that being offended and having to listen to people speak nonsense? Or do you want to live in the kind of country where the state governs what you're allowed to think, say, and do entirely end to end? Where the state thinks that they know best better than everybody else. A quick comment on the United States and Eastern Europe. Why is it that they are pushing back so strongly against this? Well, in the United States, they have the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. And all of these things determine the way that the United States function. And so, freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, those kinds of things. They are pushing back against tyrannical totalitarian governance because it wasn't long ago that they had um basically they're under British rule, right? So they pushed back against that and then within the very founding documents of the country they established these freedoms and then Eastern Europe Eastern Europe were very recently under the grip of of uh of Marxism of social communism right under the Soviet Union. So they know what it's like to live in those kind of environments. And yet other countries seemingly despite all of the evidence are blind to this to what the reality is living under those kinds of systems. And when I say state, I don't mean the Labor Party or any political party in particular. I mean the deep state, the institutions of state and whatever government is in power. I mean the civil service, all of the NOS's, the quangos, right? um quasi governmental organizations who all agree and have uh basically vested interests in the state narrative. That's what I mean by the state. Now the state are losing control of the narrative because of free speech platforms that I know are not perfect.

[00:03:17]You have a lot of things that are said on there that are untrue or offensive.

[00:03:21]But at the end of the day, what's happening is there is this state propaganda, the state sanctioned information and narratives and views that are allowed and benefit the state, not necessarily the citizens, the state.

[00:03:34]That's their priority. Okay? And then you have this other kind of movement of freedom of information like this platform, this video, these kinds of things where people can speak their mind. It may be offensive, some some parts of it may be untrue, not this video, but some things that are said on X, etc. But that's the nature of being able to have free thought and free speech. And the state knows that it's crunch time because they have only a few years to regain control. They know they have lost control. And so we're seeing the ramping up of increasingly authoritarian and totalitarian mechanisms and practices. And this movement is directly counter to what gave rise to the success of Britain and the United States because it was the industrial revolution and freedom of speech that allowed us to progress and to rise living standards caused the rise of living standards around the world through the industrial revolution and the enlightenment. It was the ability for us to have argument debate, right?

[00:04:35]To have things to say things that may offend people that may be inconvenient for the ruling class that allowed us to move out of restrictive religious um monarchies and into these kind of democratic systems. It gave us a competitive advantage against the likes of China and Russia and many Middle Eastern countries like Iran. It gave us a competitive advantage that freedom of speech and it still does to this day.

[00:05:01]Let's run through some brief examples in the United Kingdom and there are more and more seemingly every day it is accelerating. So we have the removal of jury trials so that judgments can be made not the removal of all jury trials but the removal of a significant portion. So jury trials are only restricted to the most serious offenses.

[00:05:22]And what this does is it centralizes power and decision-making on crimes within the hands of judges who are often largely indoctrinated and have ties into the state. Okay. So further we have the roll out of the online safety act and this is a great example of this not just being the Labor party but also being prior governments as well and of course all the deep state mechanisms the civil service etc that contribute to these kinds of documents and and policies they are the same. Okay. And so we saw the roll out of the online safety act. And right now the British government is in this ridiculous situation where Ofcom, our regulator of communications, they are in a battle with the likes of 4chan and these businesses that are outside of the United States, outside of the United Kingdom, not in our jurisdiction. They are attempting to find them, right? And so, for example, they're in this this battle with with 4chan trying to find them. And they're saying 4chan are saying well how about no how about we don't pay you because we're not within your jurisdiction we are a United States company and good luck. So this sets us up in direct opposition to who should be and have historically been our greatest allies who we depend on militarily the United States who we used to share values with such as freedom of speech that we're now going against.

[00:06:48]Okay. Then we had the attempted roll out of digital IDs. And what digital IDs are is a mechanism for the state to track absolutely everything about you and tie it into your name and then use this potentially to uh sort of make decisions to identify things that you're doing. It is just creeping state control. Okay. So you'd have to use your digital ID for access to uh to basically government services etc. So then we saw the social media ban that has recently been announced and it was done in the name of protecting children but it it did not cover the most uh the the worst offenders of within social media like uh Roblox and Discord and actually the cyber bullying hub which is WhatsApp. So it didn't it obviously it didn't cover everything and of course again it's done in the name of protection. Don't get me wrong, I know that social media is very harmful and can be very very harmful for young people. But this is not um this is not a smart solution essentially and it goes again a line. What do all these things have in common? They are creeping state control. That's what they have in common. Totalitarianism. So now we're seeing that move even further into age checks and potential van bans for VPNs because VPNs are very inconvenient for governments. And this puts the would put the United Kingdom in alongside the likes of North Korea, China, Iran. Okay?

[00:08:18]So you see where we're moving. We're moving away from the United States and our liberal um our liberal values of freedom of speech and evidence and empiricism and into the more socialist communist kind of totalitarian authoritarian movements that are the case within was that were the case within Soviet the Soviet Union and are the case in Russia now and in Iran and in China etc. So bad idea. Okay. So then also we've seen these considerations. We saw this uh spread this out of government which was we're considering banning X. Of course then the Americans came out thankfully and said yeah good luck you do that and we're going to sanction you. But every day it gets worse and it is going to accelerate. So we've recently just the other day we saw reported by go to Gaido Forks that there is this uh this sort of crackdown on content creators because basically what they're doing is they want to put state media statef funded media the BBC they want to force these um tech companies these platforms to promote those sources of information more than other sources of information. So they want to put their they they don't like the fact that they're losing control of the propaganda and the narratives. So they want to put their hand on the scale and say actually the this is the information that you as citizens should um should be watching and these are the views and beliefs that you should have. These are the state sanctioned beliefs that also work in our favor. Right? And so that's how this is functioning and it's getting worse and worse. And a great example of this way of thinking is our Fabian mayor of London, Sadi Khn, who puts out these messages on X and always turns off replies. It's I'm going to put out the message and I don't want to hear what you have to say about it because I know better. I am morally and in any way, every way, cognitively, and in every sense, superior to you. So, I don't want to hear what you have to say. So he put this out and it was a statement about how these poor refugees, these illegal migrants are coming into our country.

[00:10:21]The poor people, it's so hard for them to make the journey. This is the narrative he wants you to believe.

[00:10:26]Doesn't want to hear every anything you have to say. And he said London is for everyone, which is similar to what Kistama says, which is Britain is for everyone, which is totally wrong and I disagree with completely. But I reposted what Sadiq Khan said and I ratioed him at a factor of 10 to one. So there's that. Yeah. So his views are not very popular. And I want to call out this other Financial Times example because what we're seeing is all of these other legacy media organizations that are backing this up. They are aligning with the state largely because they have vested interests. Because what we're seeing is the growth of this new kind of media, these new voices and content creators that are taking over their space, right? They don't want to be challenged. They want to close ranks and protect themselves. So, the Financial Times says big tech is stoking unrest in the UK. Why? Actually, what's really happening is that these free speech platforms are allowing people to express their views. They're allowing people to express things that others might fi find offensive, to express things that might be just total nonsense, and to also express the truth and valid opinions about what's happening. And often this creeping totalitarianism and state control beyond all proportion is marketed at battling misinformation. But that is simply not the case because there's a huge amount of accurate credible information that is not reflected within the state funded narratives. Okay? So it's not about finding the truth and expressing the truth wherever it may be. It's about finding and expressing only the things that serve the state. It is propaganda.

[00:12:13]I will give you one example. The government refuses to track crimes by migration status. They refuse to track country of origin within crimes that happen right the way through the United Kingdom because it is inconvenient for them to do so. So if it was really about the truth and evidence and countering misinformation, then they would be tracking this and they would be releasing this information.

[00:12:37]Additionally, we always see the BBC releasing certain narratives and then completely ignoring other very very important information and views that come up. And of course, we've also seen the ridiculous rise of non-rime hate incidents that thankfully have fallen out of favor. But within our legal system, we also have various laws that protect people from being from being offended essentially. So we have all of these protected characteristics and we have certain laws without going to the full detail of it. we have these laws that will not it doesn't stop at actively calling out vi calling for violence like in the United States right but actually it is the subjective kind of gray area that the state and now just judges without a jury right because of the removal of jury trials they get to determine what's offensive and it's subjective because I am offended by things that happen that other people are not offended by so the state gets to determine what you're allowed to think and say and what's legal and then determine whether you're guilty or not based purely on the opinion of someone who is tied directly into the state which is the judge. Now currently nearly our entire cabinet are Fabian Society members. And why does this matter? Well, if we look at what Edward RP said, and he is a Fabian society historian, he said it's not just democracy responding to public opinion in Fabian society thinking, public opinion itself is something to be shaped. So, they have long known that you have to control the narrative to manufacture consent. And that is what they do all of the time.

[00:14:18]And they know that they don't have control. And that's what they're so scared about and what they're why they're pushing so hard at the moment.

[00:14:24]and they will lose. Anyway, further from Edward Peas and this is just a summary of his views. The Fabian method was not barricades and revolution. It's gradual permeation, academia, policy, parties and institutions. It is this creeping move into education into all of the institutions of state to then have this ideology this correct think that would take over and then they implement it in a totalitarian authoritarian style against freedom against freedom of speech and freedom of activity and thought and this is of course tied into Marxist theory and Marxism. So if you look here, this is from the manifesto of the communist party and this is Marxist theory. Marx and Engles chapter 2, proletarians and communists. So they're talking about what is it that all of the states need to do? Number six, centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. So they know and have long known that the state needs to control information. what can be what basically what people are exposed to. It's not about truth. It's not about what the reality really the objective reality really is. It's about what the state wants you to see to form opinions to manufacture consent to manufacture support that serves them, not necessarily citizens, them. And in the other direction, people have long known about the harms that this causes Brits, many Brits and many people around the world. But for example, HG Wells. So in the open conspiracy, Wells explicitly describes the project as a movement of explanation and propaganda. He also talks about education, books, newspapers, drama, and art as forces that mold opinion and direct action.

[00:16:14]these days that will be kind of social media and digital media platforms etc. So it's the same exact thing. Wells understood that propaganda is not only posters and slogans it's education, culture, media and the atmosphere of acceptable thought. Now if what he said about education is really informative because in our education system we have a huge number of ideologically indoctrinated teachers and the largest um teachers union are direct supporters of the green party right and they campaign on their on that basis they go to protests etc and they campaign against the leading party in the polls which is reform and there are teachers who are teaching our youth this is what I mean by this creeping ideological indoctrination all the way through the public sector. And another person who really pointed this out clearly was Bertrren Russell in free thought and official propaganda. Russell names the mechanisms bluntly education propaganda and economic pressure. He warns that statecontrolled education can prevent young people from hearing views that the state dislikes and that is absolutely the case these days. Russell's warning was that free thought can be suffocated without prison camps through schooling, pressure, incentives, and what's and respectable opinions. So that's just what's called or what's thought to be respectable opinions. That is state defined. And this is the real danger.

[00:17:45]Now in Britain, we are the world leader in terms of arrests for things that people say online. 12,000 a year. We're ahead of everybody else based on the records that we have access to. And as a result of this and the policing of non-rime hate incidents and just generally trying to police what people think and say and being oppressive then it's no surprise that the police have lower levels of support in Britain than they do in other European nations. And we see this within this recent yuggov poll and there is a distinct difference.

[00:18:16]Okay. So how much do you support the police? A lot or a fair amount. 43 in Britain versus 74 in Denmark, 61 in France, Germany. You can go through the figures if you like and then not very much non 53 and that compares to 24 30.

[00:18:33]So what we're seeing is a large number of people who essentially don't support the police and that is incredibly worrying. Yeah, that is why and basically what the state thinks is oh this is because there's all this divisive information that's on these social media platforms causing hate and division. No, it's not. is because the state is trying to enforce a narrative that the people know they have not supported for a very long time. They're doing things against the wishes of the people and they're trying to force it through in through an authoritarian kind of means and that's why it's very simple. But of course this is more than just the control of information because we're seeing the growth of the state as well of the public sector. So we're seeing the public public sector take up more and more of our total economy.

[00:19:18]We're seeing rises in vacancies and jobs being taken in within the public sector and real like destruction and removal of the private sector. Vacancies and jobs in the private sector are plummeting.

[00:19:30]And in the public sector, they're going up and up and up. And then we're also seeing the welfare state increase in a way that is completely unsustainable.

[00:19:37]You can see it here. So it's financially economically unsustainable. This is where socialism leads. It is state control. It is unproductive. Is not valued by the rest of the world. doesn't work economically but can be maintained for a certain period of time based on debt. So the government is taking on huge amounts of debt that are costing us an increasing amount because our economy is not functioning. And this is the reality that's happening. It's a major major major problem because all of the people who are working in the public sector are more likely to vote for parties who will just cause the increasing rise of the public sector.

[00:20:14]But none of it actually works within the global economy and everyone's lives gets worse as a result. And I thought a really great example of this state controlled propaganda was recently on question time within the BBC. What we saw was two illegal migrants who became refugees who were planted in the audience. The BBC that's a statefunded broadcaster. It's a state broadcast company essentially. and they planted these illegal migrants, these refugees within the audience, the questiontime audience. And both of those refugees just coincidentally happened to be asked questions by the host. And the questions that they were asked, right, they were schooled by a charity. So, here's a photo of two of them together. And that that person in the middle is the is a person who runs this kind of refugee this illegal migrant charity. And they and they were schooled by that individual in terms of the questions that they should ask to Zia Ysef. Okay.

[00:21:13]Who was on the stage. So essentially we've got these people who broke into the country who've been schooled by this charity placed in the audience by the state uh media and then ask questions to add insult to injury. The the questiontime host then asked the head of that same charity another question. All three of them got asked a question. That is the state deciding the views that you are allowed to see, the acceptable views that they want you to see. And right now what they're doing is they're forcing these media companies, this is not a free market of information anymore because they're forcing the media companies to promote these state views above any other views. Doesn't matter what's true. It's not based on evidence.

[00:21:58]This isn't empiricism. This is what the state wants you to see and think. Now, quickly, there is some truth with regard to hostile forces like Russia, China, Iran, etc. using these open platforms to form views to spread misinformation through bot farms and to influence people. But the reality is this, those views are often filtered out by citizens who are more intelligent, right, than the state seems to give them credit for.

[00:22:28]So actually the leading voices within these platforms tend to be people who have the best interest of those states who are patriots who want the best for the nation and will filter out those views and try to form really evidence-based perspectives and then share them. So people will gravitate naturally toward individuals that do that. The state doesn't give them the credit they deserve and they think that they need to use to to treat them like their children instead of the adults that they truly are. Okay. So my opinion is that all of this must fail and I want the government and all of the state to take a different approach. Instead we should take the approach of radical transparency. So we actually gather all information and we put it out there and we trust the people, the citizens within a democracy to be able to determine to determine what's true and what's right for the country and then sort of reflect their views and actually do what they want you to do. It is absolutely unacceptable for the state to think that they should have the right to determine what you can and cannot see. They are not our parents and they need to change course. It is not in our best interest.

[00:23:36]History shows us this. What do these Marxist socialist states act? What what do they like to live in? Right? So look at Soviet the Soviet Union. Look at lots of countries in South America. What do they like to live in? Well, they're very totalitarian. You don't have freedom. Is that how you want to live? Because that's where we're heading if we don't wake up and change course. Here is where I stand on the issue. I support freedom of speech because I have faith in people's ability to discern what's true and not true and to gravitate toward people who they can trust who will find the evidence and put it in front of them. I have faith in people essentially. Okay. Additionally, I don't think it's the state's responsibility and I don't think the state should have anything to do with determining what's offensive and what's not offensive. that is is clearly the wrong thing to be doing because their vested interests right involved. They have a vested interest at deter in determining things that don't support what they want to do as offensive and then cracking down on people when they express their views.

[00:24:39]It's a conflict of interest, right? And so I think all of the laws, hate speech laws, protected characteristics, all of these kinds of things need to be abolished and we need to have freedom of speech. And yes, I know it's messy, okay? But I I think it's the for the best. I think the alternative is far far far worse. Even though you might see on the surface, oh, it's really nice if everybody's just polite. It's like, yeah, but what are the consequences of that? And we're seeing them manifest increasingly, as has been the case throughout history. The bad ideas get filtered out and then we progress ideologically and culturally as a country. And this entire socialist left movement that is happening is preventing us from doing that that is harm and it's that that is harming living standards within Britain. We need to identify it, be clear about it, talk about it and then we need to win the battle against it. Okay, that's it for this video.

I really want to know what you think. I'm sure loads of people are seeing exactly the same thing happen and have the same concerns I have about where this all leads. I'm just not sure what what is it we do about it because they they have so much control and they're moving ahead in such, you know, in ways that you wouldn't have thought would even be possible. It's crazy, right? In any case, right, love to hear your thoughts and thanks again. Thanks so much for watching. Um, until next time. Cheers.
